Abstract

FUENTE CID, Mario Enrique. Armament and indigenous tribute: a contribution to the History of the Conquest from the legal-administrative documents. Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2018, n.155, pp.111-140.  Epub Feb 28, 2022. ISSN 2663-371X.  https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.155.2018.291.

The conquistadors armament is one of the outstanding issues to reach a complete and dynamic vision of the Conquest of New Spain. Although there are some studies that address the subject, its approach is restricted to the use of codices and chronicles for its description. In this sense the work of Silvio Zavala, and the place occupied by the indigenous tribute in the supply of weapons, is especially effective to make an approach that allows another paradigm of the important phenomenon heading to its 5th Centenary.

Keywords : Armament; Indigenous tribute; medieval institutions in America; Silvio Zavala; Spanish Conquest.
